What may be the best-preserved small impact crater ever seen
on Earth has been discovered in the remote Egyptian desert, scientists
announced Thursday.

The crater, called Kamil, is positively pristine when
compared to most holes
in the Earth gouged by impacting meteorites. Where many craters on our
planet are partially eroded, this one retains much of its structure, down to
even the rays of ejected material that were shot from the center when the space
rock hit.
